I downloaded CCleaner free v5.28.6005 to see if it would help my computer.  When I had it analyze and clean it put a bunch of folders and files in quarantine that it was not supposed to. 

 

1. Why did they get moved to quarantine?

- These files where in my documents. These files were not deleted files.

2.I need those files back.  How do I get them out of quarantine?

- Is it as simple as moving them from the quarantine folder and back to the documents folder?

System: Windows 10 

 

Thanks,

Steve

CCleaner is not an anti-virus or anti-malware tool, it is a cleaning tool but knows nothing of any viruses or malware that may be on a computer.

 

If you clicked the Run Cleaner button, you'll need to either restore your files from a backup you've made, or attempt to get the files back with recovery software such as Recuva.
